Contents

• Aggregate estimates, based on: analytical estimation of the multinomial logit model using ae_mnl() and Elo scores using elo()

• Individual estimates, based on: difference scores (best minus worst) using diffscoring(), random walks in directed networks using walkscoring(), empirical Bayes using e_bayescoring(), Elo scores using eloscoring(), and page rank scores using prscoring()

• A data.frame of balanced incomplete block designs for creating these studies, bibds, and a function to generate a balanced incomplete block design from this, make_bibd()
